Forum:	classic_tv	Subject:	Does anyone have "BBC Sunday-Night Theatre: It Is Midnight, Dr. Schweitzer"? It's among the earliest surviving British TV broadcasts

Broadcast in 1953, this LONG episode is among the earliest surviving BBC telecasts. Set during WW1, it's described as over-long, wordy and done on a bare-set...but I'd like to see it, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

Speaking of "Sunday-Night Theatre", also existing from 1953 are versions of "The Lady from the Sea" and "Anastasia".

Of course, a 1954 adaptation of "1984" has been uploaded to here by Meatpies:
